If cast in the role, Franco would play "a young illusionist with a grandiose attitude who is forced to flee a traveling circus. His hot air balloon is swept up by a tornado to the land of Oz, which is run by two magical wicked witches."

Sam Raimi previously worked with James Franco on the pre-Andrew GarfieldSpider-Man trilogy. We know a lot of some people hated on Spider-Man 3, but we liked Franco's body as Harry Osborn.
